Millie Manders And The Shutup return with new single 'Lollipops', the second to be taken from the bands recent EP release, Shutup. “'Lollipops' was written as the bombs started to rain down on Syria and children’s bodies started washing up on our shores. The song is a reflection of the band’s anger towards those who are bombing innocents daily.” states vocalist Millie Manders.

The band's new material has already been aired and championed on John Kennedy’s Radio X Show. John declared his love for the new material stating; “I knew she was a star!”

‘Lollipops’ is a marriage of pop punk and ska punk with soaring vocals and some raw lyrics as the bands declare their political perspective. Millie Manders And The Shutup have gained a reputation  for their high energy live performances, ballsy material and will see 2018 out the only way they know how to by playing to as many crowds as possible on the run up to Christmas.

The original line-up of The 4 Of Us returns to Whelan’s on Saturday December 1 for their first Dublin city gig since their triumphant turn at Feile Classical, where they proved to be a major highlight of the Trip To Tipp anniversary festival.

The full-band gig at Whelan’s will be a chance to catch the Murphy brothers in action before they before they embark on a UK tour in the New Year and head back to the studio to record their seventh studio album.

Interspersed by Brendan Murphy’s often hilarious stories and musings on the band’s three decades in music, the band’s set list features all the old hits, such as ‘Mary’, ‘Drag My Bad Name Down’ and ‘Sunlight’, as well as tracks from their recent critically acclaimed album, Sugar Island – including the radio favourite, ‘Going South’.

On TV, Brendan made an appearance this year on John Creedon’s popular Road Less Travelled summer series, giving the RTE presenter a tour of the backdrop for songs like ‘Mary’ and ‘Hometown On The Border’, another stand-out song from Sugar Island, about growing up in Newry during the Troubles.
